... I ... intro I'm Mary Kissel ... the contenders for John Kerry's open Senate seat in Massachusetts Duke it out again for a second debate this week we're keeping a very close eye on this race at the editorial page ... I've got America's columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady joining me now ... um ... Mary the president himself is going to Massachusetts for a rally for and markets today ... was the polls ... if I just ... what's from up on the screen here ... I in the polls and that and this raises a look close in all I mean why why would the president be spending time there ... when I think that time the polls are actually pretty close ... there and then today came this week one was from a poster that's more knowing to call for Republicans ... and that showed the race actually dead heat ... on in and out of ten percent of the electorate undecided ... and that Mr. Markey having ... very high unfavorable ratings ... so he put all those things together ... at noon and Gabrielle Gomez would have a chance now the more recent poll which prior year referring to is a seven point spread but even there you wonder a guy who is high name recognition has than in the house for thirty six years ... on end is a Democrat in a very blue state ... I he should be doing that he should be polling data than forty percent and again when aside ten percent undecided and Gabriele Gome has a forty one percent ... well you could see something happening yet and I love looking in on turnout ... because if there's a low turnout it means that the people are going to the polls are the ones are more passionate about ... I in their decision ... and that probably honors in favor of Gabriele Gome and so-so Gabrielle Gomez on a Navy seal very impressive record this is the Republican in the race ... um what did you learn about his strategy in the second debate he's he ... is whining that kind of center right or is he ... I didn't move even to the left of where Scott Brown ran in in in moving in at Democratic territory with some of his positions ... while what I learned it from a hand on just watching and intimidate says he's a very unpolished I mean the kind of politician ... and I in fact in the first to be seen in a very embarrassing ... I miss statement where he said that the US had tipped to be on the ... onthe side of the right terrorists and in Syria any quickly pack reconciled to say the red rebels ... ah but that was quite of a ... mistake ... and then aam last night I feed ... it didn't say a lot of things that for ... a limited government conservatives were pretty ... was pretty appalling ease the way that you wanna lie in the minimum wage ... I and ten dollars ... an hour from the minimum wage which of course Markey is also in favor of an Eni follows appetite came out in the American dream ... aam but he does make some distinctions for example he's in favor of the Keystone pipeline ... of marquee isn't on and that's ironic because Marquis has ... argued in this in the house in favor of time encouraging the Cubans to drill ... into deep water drilling ... right off the coast of Florida so ... I've that seems like quite a contradiction ... I'm on things like abortion you know he spoke pretty much like a Tom ... Cruise state politician I he was a Guinea get tangled up in that ... company s pending against Obamacare ... on and he was pretty courageous last name in saying that he thinks the mortgage deduction should be on the table I mean that's ... I'm really a ... sorry to say anywhere in America NYSE's AmEx etc so it's now I'm so that's Exxon's and I think you know is he trying to distinguish himself without moving too far ... on to the right ... hand out marquee for hints on the inside he tried to attach comments to some of the more ... hardcore republic hardcore
